- Our undergraduate program, what we have here
is a very small division one school
with an athletic training program that is
probably the smallest in the country
as far as being division one.
- Our professors and our preceptors really closely care
about us and they want to make sure
that we know what we're doing.
Since we go to a small school we
get that level of attention and
we get that level of care.
- The first or second week you're assigned to one
of the sports teams under a senior student and a preceptor.
(whistle blowing)
(athletes shouting)
- Usually what happens is at other schools you don't get
to see or even touch an athlete until you're a junior,
but at U of E we get to see that day one of freshman year,
which is, I think, pretty unique.
- Now this year having done all that
it really, you get used to the athletes quicker
and it definitely prepares you
like for me this year, just to know what they expect here.
It's a smoother transition, I think,
once you're in the program.
- An injury's an injury, but an injury at a
division one level is a little bit more stressful
when you're getting them ready for an Indiana University
or another big time school.
- Right now I'm taping Allana's ankle.
For me it's really important to have this hands on
experience that makes me feel more comfortable
as an AT, makes me understand what I'm doing.
- These are minor things but we're trying to
prevent them, so it's like prehab instead of rehab.
They'd rather tackle the issue before it becomes a problem.
- Even at a high school level they know that UE students
are the ones that are taking care of them,
whether it be the students, they trust us,
they've seen us come through, or the preceptors.
They know what they're gonna get
when you see them with a student.
They know that we're gonna know what we're doing.
We know how to interact with people.
We know how to hold ourselves to a professional standard.
(tape ripping)
- They come out everyday when we're here.
They work all the football games with us.
They help us get ready for practice
and get some really good experience with
injury evaluation and treatment.
This is kinda their first rotation where they're
really kinda learning to work on their own.
We're here to help guide them but they're really putting
their skills to use they've learned the last two years.
- Youth sports on the rise, with injuries on the rise,
there's definitely a need for
athletic trainers at every level.
It used to be only at the collegiate or professional levels,
but now it's almost unheard of to have a high school
that doesn't have athletic trainers.
The widespread different opportunities and performing arts
and the military and an industry we do see athletic
trainers out there as well.
The growth is there and that's why with different
rotations the students can see where they best fit in
or where they best enjoy their experience.
- Currently I am the only physical therapist
and one of five athletic trainers for WWE.
I'm based out of Orlando, Florida.
For me, I felt like, okay maybe I did go to a small school
and maybe it was a really tiny program,
but it was still division one sports
and it was still the hands on experience.
I had three years of hands on experience
by the time I got out of college
when someone else just had like a semester's worth.
For me that real life experience of
this is what you're gonna do when you're certified
and you're at a high school or a college
or a sports team on your own as the athletic trainer
these are the skills you're gonna need to have.
I felt really confident coming out of the program
knowing I've been doing this for three years.
I got this.

- We pride ourselves in the first time BOC pass rate.
Our pass rate is very high, 90 percent and above.
That goes forth with keeping the quality
of the student very high in our program as we come forward.
That freshman year is a competitive nature.
We keep the best students in our program
and they move through their sophomore,
junior, and senior year.
We also want to see that student have a job
when they walk across that stage,
and that's very important to us as well.
We do have a doctorate of physical therapy program.
We do have a new PA program, physician assistant.
We also have a physical therapy assistant program.
Which, combined with athletic training,
makes them very marketable in the job field.
- It's fantastic.
Small class sizes.
Very hands on.
Great community.
Beautiful campus.
It was an awesome experience.
